S1 Ep1613: Charity Chief Exec’s Weekly Update 10/03/23

Each week we chat with RNIB’s CEO Matt Stringer to discuss the big news affecting the charity.

Matt started this week update by talking about the final days of the RNIB move into our new Grimaldi building in central London. Matt then gave credit to the RNIB Team in Wales on the recent successful campaigning work around the Standard for Accessible Communication and Information within Health Care and noting the forth coming #MakeItAccessible campaign which will be launching around late spring early summer. Matt ended this week’s update with news that half of RNIB’s staff have completed the new Seeing Differently Programme since it’s launch six months ago ensuring all staff have training around visual awareness and fully understand from the visually impaired programme trainers what life is like for blind and partially sighted people.

If you have any questions at all relating to sight loss or just looking for help and advice please do call the RNIB helpline on 0303 123 9999 or use your Amazon device and ask Lady A to call the RNIB and speak to one of our Sight Loss Advisors or do visit the RNIB website where you will find a wealth of information and advice too - https://www.rnib.org.uk
